6'9' and 290 in 1966. The man was a giant. I met him at a huddle club meeting when I was 8 years old. To this day, I've never seen a man so larger than life. He retired to Pro wrestling the season the Chiefs won the SB. But he was there, on the sidelines and helped hoist Hank Stram in the air.



As I got older I learned more about his career as an athlete. Played basketball at Grambling. Was a great player.

When I was a kid, I saw Ernie Big Cat Ladd wrestle at Memorial Hall.

StoneCold Chris Jones is probably 2nd now. He's the 3 time afterall.

DJ might be #3

McDuffie might actually be my #4 right now

I always really liked James Hasty too

I started watching in the 90's so I never got to see the old time greats.

McDuffie is probably #3 for me now, given the rings and ability at such a young age.

That's pretty close to me.

1)DT
2) Hasty
3) Jones
4) Houston

I think there's a distinction between favorite and best. DT will always be iconic, but it's tough to ignore the impact that Chris has had on three SB wins.
